TMZ states Chyna was upset over the fact that Jay was “slipping into a few girls’ DMs,” adding “She also claims he was hanging out with several chicks after performances.” We’re not sure what Chyna expected from a relationship with an 18-year-old (if you can even call it that?) but the site reports she has kicked him to the curb over the aforementioned issues, recent arguments, and rumors that he has a baby on the way. Now what’s she going to do about that tattoo of his name on her arm? See below. Hit the flip for the best reactions from social media.
Source: David Wolff – Patrick / Getty/David Wolff – Patrick Anyone who’s a fan of good, quality music was probably hype when they heard that Lauryn Hill was going on tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her ‘Miseducation’ album. No matter you age, race, gender or creed, L, Boogie’s music has probably touched you in some way, form or fashion. Even the premise of the Miseducation of Lauryn HIll was dope. The skits in between that made it seem like she was absent on the one day at school when they taught you about love. We all missed that day too. — Craig's_VCR (@Craigs_VCR) March 9, 2018 Lauryn Hill taught me what reciprocity means — Erick the Architect (@erickarcelliott) July 14, 2014 Plus, it’s been a whole two decades since ‘Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill’ changed the way we view music and female artistry today.

Source: Johnny Louis / Getty This is absolutely hilarious, in a really heartbreaking way… Boosie Badazz is in utter disbelief over the recent recall of Honey Smacks cereal. Only a few days after it was announced that the beloved cereal was linked to approximately 73 salmonella outbreaks in over 30 states, the rapper took to social media to demand further proof of this reported blasphemy. Looking truly heartbroken, Boosie speaks to his fans on IG: “I just got home and my kids told me some s**t about Honey Smacks are no longer available. I don’t if this true, but I’m pissed. I need proof…They say it’s full of salmonella, they were sayin’ something—well I’m full of salmonella!” He continues on, pleading for help in this desperate time, saying, “I need proof, man. F**K that. They just can’t take them off the market. I need proof. Somebody DM proof. The scientists, somebody, DM me some proof.” Boosie’s big time love for Honey Smacks has been very well documented over the years, and there are multiple videos posted both by the rapper himself and fans of him doing nothing more than enjoying the cereal. Here’s one from more than two years ago… It was reported last week that Kellogg’s recalled Honey Smacks boxes with a “best if used by” date range from June 14, 2018 to June 14, 2019. Following that, the FDA advised consumers to throw away all Honey Smacks cereal regardless of their expiration dates. Boosie is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Source: Erika Goldring / Getty Gospel artist Kirk Franklin is facing difficult times this week when he announced that his sister was sentenced to 30 years in prison. He revealed the news in an Instagram post saying “I now feel the weight of wondering if I could’ve done more…” It’s not clear what caused his sister’s long sentence. However, Kirk has been pretty public about the struggles she’s faced, including an addiction to crack-cocaine. In a 2015 interview , Kirk said, “For over ten years, my younger sister was incarcerated in a facility here in Texas. She was in love with a young man who was drug dealer. He introduced her to not only selling drugs, but using as well. When he was arrested for drug trafficking, she was arrested along with him. After she served her time, she was brought before the review board who determined she was ready to be released and brought back into society. The documents were signed and she was set free… but only on paper.” Kirk continued, “After a few months back into the free world, it became obvious to me rather quickly that my sister was still in prison. It’s what they call being institutionalized. She quickly started using again, becoming very reckless with her body, which turned into her using it as a means to pay for her habit.” With more talk about prison reform and harsh sentencing , questions do arise on if Kirk’s sister deserved her 30 year sentence in the first place. Is it because of distributing drugs? Using? If she’s been committed to an institution before, shouldn’t her intervention be in the form of rehabilitation instead of prison? Kirk has yet to go into details about his next steps following the intense news, but we’ll continue to keep you updated if anything major should surface.
Source: kali9 / Getty The summertime can definitely be nostalgic, especially when school lets out for the kids. From beach trips, to cookouts, to hanging outside, there was no one who could rain on your parade as a kid… …except your parents. And if they weren’t giving you stress, a trip to your grandparents’ house could definitely get ugly. Don’t let it be a week-long stay either. Grandma might treat you every now and then, but you better believe some work will get done too. Comedian Davy Ruffin portrays the feeling perfectly, from having to clean grandma’s property… To being put in time-out… To an impromptu school session… And don’t let your cousins come over to complicate the situation… The struggle. If there’s a summertime moment that takes you back to the old days, let us know on Twitter and Facebook!
